Naked theory sounds like this. The Nigardsbrin glacier is the tongue of the Jostedalsbrin glacier, the largest in continental Europe. In general, glaciers are huge streams of compressed snow. Their power increases due to heavy snowfalls and decreases due to snowmelt, evaporation and wind erosion. The glacier seems blue inside because the thickness of the ice absorbs primarily the rays of the red spectrum, and only blue rays penetrate to the greatest depth.

Practice will consist of short enthusiastic phrases and interjections. From the very moment you see the "tongue" of the glacier through the window - you are gone: ) Nothing will save you from looking at the huge blue colossus with an open mouth and admiring reverence. Fantastic place! The real kingdom of the Snow Queen. A place where you can touch eternity...
You can get to the glacier from the parking lot either completely on foot, or by breaking part of the way by boat. Comfortable and non-slip shoes are needed (the road will go over stones). It is necessary to grab a jacket (in case of cloudy or rainy weather). If you travel on your own, it is possible to climb the glacier itself (with a guide), but an order for such a climb must be made in advance.
